Abstract
A needle injector used in the Landscape Services to inject the soil getting to the root of a plant [FIG. 1 #1] with the purpose of killing the plant with herbicide flowing through the needle and out the holes [FIG. 1 #4]. Typical weed control is done by pulling the weeds with a tool or by hand, not very effective as weeds grow back when pulled, there is always some root left behind to regrow. This invention kills the weed at the root and it dies and disintegrates on its own. It is an easily used device by connecting it to a garden pump sprayer or similar device [FIG. 2 #5 and 6] and using pressure to drive the herbicide into the root. It is 6″ long. {FIG 1. number 3} to get the deep roots. It can be used with fertilizers as well, getting near or on the roots.
